<h4>Background</h4>Major advances have been achieved in the characterization of early breast cancer (eBC) genomic profiles. Metastatic breast cancer (mBC) is associated with poor outcomes, yet limited information is available on the genomic profile of this disease. This study aims to decipher mutational profiles of mBC using next-generation sequencing.<h4>Methods and findings</h4>Whole-exome sequencing was performed on 216 tumor-blood pairs from mBC patients who underwent a biopsy in the context ...[more]
